  1. SWOT ANALYSIS South- Estonia region Estonian University of Life Sciences Martin Kikas Tartu Regional Energy Agency 13. of September 2011

  2. South of Estonia Territory of 6 counties 90 municipalities 13 towns, 77 rural municipalities Area: 15 533 sq.km Number of inhabitants 338 836 in

  3. Production of power energy in Region of Tartu (2009) TOTAL production of electricity ca 9% of own consumption

  4. Backround information Estonia national targets of Share of Renewable Energy Sources Directive 2009/28/EC promotion of use energy from renewable sources Compose national Renewable Energy Acton Plan

  5. Regulations in Estonia • NationalLawsrelatedwithenergy • SustainableDevelopmentAct • ElectricityAct • Natural GasAct • District Heating Act • LiquideFuelAct • EnergyefficencyofequipmentAct • Construction (Building) Act

  6. Regulations in Estonia- National development documents SustainableDevelopmentAct EnergyDevelopmentPlan 2020 Estonian ElectricityDevelopmentPlan 2018 Energyefficency programm 2007-2013 DevelopmentPlantouseofBiomas and bioenergy 2007-2013 DevelopementPlanofOilshale 2008-2015 RenewableEnergyActonPlan 2020

  7. Energy action plans / strategies in region Energyactionplans/ strategieshave18municipalitiesof 90 Threeofsixcountieshaveorcomposingenergystartegiesorplans Põlva County – Studyofrenewableresources (2006) Võru County - EnergyStartegy ( started 2011) Tartu County - EnegyStrategy ( plan 2012)

  8. Energy action plans / strategies in region One “regional” energystrategy: 4 municipalitiesfromtwocounties ( 2 from Võru county and 2 from Põlva county) “Setomaa Commonstrategyforwiderusingoflocalrenewableresources”

  9. Why we need strategy? Eneregystartegyis (onepossible) wayor tool toimprovewelfare and sustainabilityof Community

  10. Typical Energy chains ENERGY FLOW CASH FLOW (MONEY)

  11. Who gets profit in energy ? Money goes from consumers to … … supplier/ owner of resources and fuels, … supplier of energy (owner of energy production units) … owner distribution network Goal for community: get as much as possible bigger share (control) of this three units in energychain

  12. SWOT analysis - STRENGHTS Availability of resources Well developed technology Possibility to involve private forestowners Possibility to make money Lot of experiences to process forest and wood Relatively cheap material (resource) Possibility to use residues and waste Independence Create local jobs Wider use of coppice( brush)lands Wood and forest processing will help rural areas

  13. SWOT analysis - WEAKNESSES Lot of workforce for collecting/ processing of material Lot of workforce for burning Usage of fossil fuels for peak demands Awareness of forestmanagemnt is low Rising costs Higher cost compare with peat Renovation of energyplants from others fuels to wood is expensive Lack of resources Dificult to get and transport wood from forest/some cases/ Burning technologies are not enough efficient Technology development is expensive

  14. SWOT analysis - OPPORTUNITIES Possibility to use wood in many types of fuels (firewood, pellets, chips etc) Boilers are available for wide range of power Good for small central heating systems Resource available from private sector More scientific Works on forestmanagement Using better sort of wood for our climate

  15. SWOT analysis - THREATS Security of supply, small producers cant quarrantee of supply Raising demand of wood in others sectors and in neibourhood countries Using wooden fuel is more complicated compared to other fuels Market influences, raising price for wood Inflammable / risk for fire Lack of modrenization of technology

  16. SWOT analysis- input for strategy • Focustoissueswhatyoucanchanges • Useyour STRENGHTS • Improveyour WEAKNESSES

  17. SWOT analysis- input for strategy • Maximal and rational use of local resources (wood and forest) in local energy production • New technologies • Get as much as possible bigger share of energy value chain to the local community.
